A LESSON WITH A MORAL.
Whom will Our Eyes DO Opened to this
Great National Calamity?

When will Our Eyes DO Opened to this
Great National Calamity? g
/ The year 1856 played sad havoc with.
many prominent men of our country. +;
MANY of them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full flsh
otlife.
others were sick but comparatively
shoft time. We turn to our iles and are
astopished to find thst most of them died
of aEopleXy, OF paralysis, of nervous pros
tratian, of malignant blood humor, of
BrighEs disease, OF heart disease, of kid
neg disease, of rheumatism or OF pReu-
monias
1t is Singular that most of our promi-
nent nfen die OF these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the teleerapaic
reports viii be a5tOnished at the number
OF prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many prom
inent men in 1856, are really one disease,
taking difsfenJ names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
When valuable horse perisbsS, it be-
comes the nine days. talk of the sporting
world, and Yet thousands OF ordiuary
horses are dying every ds5; their assre-
cate loss IS enormous, and yet their
death creates NC commend

death of promiaent men creates com-
ment, especially @aen it can De shown
that one unsupported disease carries of
most OF them, sndyet "yast numbers of
ordinary men and women die b, fore their
time every yesr from the same cause"
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostrationSp rheuma-
tism, and many cases of consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid,
We are told, is the waste of the system,
and it is the duties of the kidneys to re
move this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys ere
maintained in perfect health, the uric.
kidney, acid is kept out Oh the blood, and
these sudden 5snd universal diseases
caused by uric scid will in large meas
ure disappear.
But how shall this be done: 1t is folly
to treat Effects. II there Is sny known
way Of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be
Iieve that Warmers safe cure, of which SO
nuch has been written, and so much
talked of by the pubic generally, Is now
recognized by impartial physicians and
tle public ss the one specific for such
diseases.
Becsuse public attention has been
directed to this great remedy bv means of
advertising, some persons haVenU5 be
lieved IN the remedy. We cannot see
how Mr.. Warner could immediately
benefit the public in any other wsy, and
his valuable speclf; should not bacon-
demned because some nostrums have
come before the public ii the same%ay,
any more than that all doctors should ne
condemned because SO many Of theni.ere
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear OH every side, Of that great
and public opinion thus based
upon an actual experience, hGs sll the
weight and Importance Of absolute truth.
At this time of the year, the Hr'c acid in
the blood invites pneumonia and rheuma-7s
tism, and there IL not man who does \
not dread these monsters of disease: but I
he need have no fear of them we are ted,
il he rid the blood Of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may sound
like an advertisement, and be rejected as
such by unthiDking people, bat We believe
they are the truth, and as such should be
spoken by every truth-loving newspaper.
